Artist Series - Day 205: Chris Bachelo

Today's artist continues my comic book theme for SDCC. He's got a crazy cartooning style of drawing without losing the grittiness that often falls away with abstraction. He started out doing some stuff for Sandman, and looks like he's working on X-Men at the moment. I actually discovered his work (well, at least when I could name the artist) from his graphic novel "Steampunk" back in 2000...when Steampunk was actually still cool and interesting.

About Me

Seth Rutledge is a visual developer and concept artist for the animation and video game industries, a photographer and a coffee snob living in Vancouver, British Columbia. Before he discovered illustration, he received a CSCI/Math degree from UNC-Charlotte, and has lived and worked all over the United States and Canada. He has run marathons, taught English in Japan, been CTO for a pharma marketing company and done fashion photography in NYC. Seth has two albums he wrote and played keyboards on, and he plays the theramin whenever he gets the chance. Seth spends so much time in coffee shops drawing that he is mentioned in online reviews. He would love a career drawing elves and goblins for a living.
